Here is the problem, assuming your story is 100% legit and at least fairly accurate. I have to assume that since you are a cop, your power of observation is fairly good. If the rock was the size of a basketball, you are talking a 50-100 pound rock depending on the actual size and type of rock it was. No human can pick up a rock that size and just heave it 50 feet, a strongman couldn't throw it more than 20 feet I'm guessing and that would be one of the strongest humans on Earth.
I have to assume that no strongmen were out in the middle of nowhere throwing large heavy rocks at you. That doesn't seem likely. Animals don't throw rocks, so...
Yea, the story is a real problem. If what you say is true and accurate I have no way to explain it. Its highly unlikely that in a remote area, at dusk, some people were randomly fucking with you but also able to stay completely out of sight and never be seen as they pursued you to your car while throwing large rocks. That's another thing, when a human picks up a rock to throw, they pick up one that fits nicely in the palm, not one that they can barely lift.
That’s just it. I don’t have an explanation. It makes little sense either way. Not all of the rocks were as big as the one I saw, but that one was big. Definitely at least the size of a cantaloupe, up to the size of a basketball. When it hit, it was a very loud “kersploosh” with a hollow sound. It threw water all over the place, including my legs. It was at this point I started to run. This is really bad terrain to run on. It is a slope and there are logs everywhere littered on the ground. In broad daylight, I often fall or slip and end up with wet or muddy feet.
I know stress fucks with your senses. It can make a rock look much bigger, but I was not yet crazily alarmed before the big one hit. At this point, only one rock had landed and it hit fifteen feet in front of me. I knew it wasn’t a fish, but my first thought was not that it was intentionally being thrown at me. I have been fishing all my life. I have been around rock slides, and this was not that. No little rocks or accompanying debris splashing after or before. Just a loud bloop and splash. Then i was looking up the hill trying to figure out what was happening when the second one flew over my head. Then another in front of me, then over my head out into the lake. I was screaming at them to stop after the second rock and it continued. I heard no sounds. No trickle of stuff rolling down the hill, no laughing. Only my heavy breathing and the sound of me trying to move as quickly as i could. As I made progress at least two other rocks were thrown. Neither were close and they were smaller-at least in splash volume. I was still only fifty feet from where it started at this point. When i got close enough to hit my panic alarm on my car, one final rock landed about 25 feet behind me. From the point of origin, the total distance was a few hundred yards.
So, the obvious point is that rock slides do not follow a person. The rocks were thrown-not rolling down the hill, taking crazy bounces to explain the arc of the one i actually saw.
taking into consideration how remote this lake and area are; the steep and probably very difficult to, or nearly impossible to navigate that rocky hillside.
then there is the size of the rocks and distance. I just have many doubts doubts about the average person getting those rocks that distance.
Also, who would sneak up that hill, which would be a trial unto itself, just to fuck with me? They would have been waiting for two hours! That’s some dedication! And anyone throwing rocks that size would have to know that there was a possibility that one error in aim or movement by me, could lead to my death.
In summation, I swear on Anything that this happened. I am certain that the rocks were not just falling down a hill. Certain. I know at least one of the rocks was large-which along with being able to scale the terrain, is my biggest roadblock to simply accepting this was some asshole(s) fucking with me.
I don’t have an explanation how those things happened, but they did.
